I said it was over I said we were through I said when I left I was done loving you But I'm fighting a feeling that can't be denied Forget what I told you the truth is I lied I know you weren't expecting this visit from me With my hat in my hand and my heart on my sleeve But I've stopped my pretending and I've swallowed my pride I'm not above saying the truth is I lied The truth is I'm not quite as strong as I thought This battle is harder than any war that we fought I said I could just push your mem'ry aside And I meant it when I said it but the truth is I lied Is it asking too much to forget and forgive Dying for your love is no way to live And the truth is I'm not quite as strong as I thought... Oh I meant it when I said it but the truth is I lied
